Sweet Everlasting

Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium

Sweet Everlasting is distinguished by its narrow, woolly leaves and a burst of papery blooms that appear in late summer and persist through the colder months. Flowers have an appealing cottony texture and a pleasant, sweet fragrance. Sweet Everlasting is a resilient and low-maintenance plant that thrives in full sun to partial shade and is particularly well-suited to dry, well-drained soils.
